The Language of the Gods
Writing System
Letters are series of neat dots and lines. They do not correspond to letters in any alphabets on Earth, but instead sounds or full words. Since words are derived from the names of the gods presiding over the meaning of the word, symbols of the subject or even drawings of the god's face or attire may be used instead.
Geographical Distribution
The language of the gods used to be spoken all throughout Terra, but it became a lost language amongst mortals as the three pieces of the world began to evolve a culture beyond the gods.
Sentence Structure
Words are arranged in the following form: Noun(s), adjective(s), verb(s), adverb(s), noun(s), adjective(s), tense. Sentences never exceed thirty words, and punctuation other than sentence stoppers do not exist.
Adjective Order
Adjectives follow the following order: Number, size, shape, color, sound, scent, taste, texture, movement.
